Gomez made his England debut last week against Germany before putting in a man of the match performance against Brazil four days later.

The 20-year-old centre-back was up against a forward line of Neymar, Gabriel Jesus and Philippe Coutinho and Bellamy was impressed with his performances for Gareth Southgate’s side.

"Gomez has put himself into a good position following these internationals," he said.

"Liverpool supporters will be thinking they've got a player here. Defending-wise, he looks comfortable in a two or a three. But what I like about him is the pressure he puts on forwards - he was up against Neymar, who is an incredible footballer.
